I find it hard to know how much you have preserved as they are all in the old imperial system measurements! But it looks quite productive!
How much is left?

Sadly not much is left. We ate through most of the frozen food by the middle of February. There are still some berries left but not many. There are some jars of apple sauce and a few pickles left. Lots of rhubarb salsa.

The jars I use are Ball and Mason Jars and they are measured imperially.

How do you freeze your spinach? I think this seems like a great idea but do you just put in bags and throw it in! Your list is impressive. I may have to keep a tally this year!

Leaning Apple, I just throw the spinach in a freezer bag. It holds up pretty well. When I cook I put in a soup or hot dish I can chop it easily while it is still frozen.

I interplant the spinach among my garlic and get a good first harvest of spinach early on. Then I mulch the garlic after the first planting of spinach is spent. Then I plant more spinach later in August for a September Harvest.

We love spinach.
